11th and Social

Walk up Upper King Street towards the cathedral and you'll find 11th and Social tucked away with a real sense of occasion. This isn't the sort of place that'll throw neon signs at you—it's got that understated confidence of somewhere that doesn't need to try too hard. You're ordering from people who actually care about what goes in your glass, whether that's a carefully balanced classic or something more experimental. The atmosphere shifts depending on the night: early evening and it's civilised enough for a proper conversation, later on and it gets properly buzzy without tipping into rowdy.
